Tuna and Provolone Cheese Crepe Picture Book Directions

Ham, Cheese & Mustard Road Crepe

Last post showed how to make fully flavorful Fresh Crepes with Nut Butter, Jam, Yogurt & Whipped Cream all very easily. Like I mentioned this summer in Killer Versatile Active Life Power Food: Fresh Crepes with Picture Book Recipe, crepes are incredibly versatile – way more versatile than regular syrup-sucking flapjack pancakes.

And crepes make for great “on-the-fly” food. I made a stack of crepes before taking off across the country this summer. On that trip, I loved keeping my foot on the gas to take in all I could about our wonderfully vibrant country. Those crepes worked great for making lunches that I enjoyed rolling on the road, like the ham, cheese and mustard crepe shown above.

I made that crepe no-kidding while gassing up the car and, therefore, didn’t take pictures. When I got home, though, I shot this easy to make Tuna and Provolone Cheese Crepe that you can make either as shown below or by substituting the tuna and provolone cheese with any meat, vegetable and cheese you like. Imagination and flavor rule!

Here’s what I used to put together this Tuna and Provolone Cheese Crepe: leftover pan cooked tuna, provolone cheese, mustard and crepe.

Tuna and Provolone Cheese Crepe Ingredients

I started by spreading mustard on the crepe, laying on a slice of provolone cheese and hand-pulling apart pieces of leftover cooked tuna on half the crepe.

Warm the topped crepe in the microwave oven for 20 seconds.

Take the warmed crepe out of the microwave oven and fold the cheese only covered half over the tuna covered side and…

…enjoy!

Another Blessed Sunday – by Bill Fleming: In Pictures

I’ve laid down a couple fish recipes lately and have another that I’ll put up soon. But first, I got the fish/fishing story you see below from a darn good friend I served with in the Navy it seems like lifetimes ago. Bill Fleming was – and still is – the real deal as both a river boat gunner in Vietnam and savvy intelligence officer both at sea on carriers and on land in Washington DC. We got a lot done together in DC while, at the same time, having our good share of laughs.

Bill posted this story on Facebook a few weekends ago. I got a good smile out of it and hope you do too.

Introduction: With nothing planned for lunch, our Lord provides, I’ve always been told. So, in pictures, this is how my (recent) Sunday of culinary experiences unfolded.

It all started about 6:00 A. M., much darker than it appears. The lonely dock became my church, sort of, with a congregation of one this morn. That’s the moon shining overhead, not the sun! I plugged for bass and jigged for crappie, turning up one undersized specimen, released to grow some more.

Fish Tacos – Quick & Easy and All in Pictures

Quick and Easy Fish TacosLast post showed how to cook a whole fish on the stove, which is a technique I just recently learned – and like very much for its terrific flavor and because it makes the most of the fish by reducing the loss of meat that takes place when fish is filleted (removed from the bone while the fish is raw). But since filleted fish is most available on the market, especially in our U.S. grocery stores, making these quick and easy fish tacos is a great way to make a complete and fantastically flavorful meal with a good piece of fish fillet.

Here’s what you need for ingredients to make quick and easy fish tacos.

Stove Cooked Whole Fish with Fresh Vegetables – All in Pictures


Stove Cooked Whole Fish with Fresh Vegetables

Just a few weeks ago one of my sons and I went fishing for black sea bass out of Falmouth, Massachusetts. When we got back, I commented to our boat captain as he cleaned our catch about the amount of waste that went into filleting the fish. The boat captain the next slip down heard my comment and mentioned that we Americans are about the only culture that fillets fish. Most everyone else cooks their fish whole. That captain, Capt. Willy Hatch, who runs Machaca Charters, then told me that he particularly likes to coat the fish skin with a dry rub, meaning dried herbs and spices, and then cook the fish, with just the head removed, in hot oil, which essentially steams the fish from the inside out in its own juices. Capt. Willy, great guy, then prepared two fish exactly the way I needed to cook them whole as shown in the picture below.
